Foot orthotics are devices that are used to correct any biomechanical
abnormalities in the foot and ankle. Orthotics perform functions that
make standing, walking, running and other sports-related activities more
comfortable and efficient by correcting the angles at which the foot
strikes the walking or running surface. At Robinson Family Chiropractic,
we offer custom orthotics as a conservative approach to solving many
foot conditions that lead to pain in the knees, ankles, hip, back and
neck.
Custom-fit orthotics are used to help realign the bones within the
foot and ankle. Realigning these bones will take pressure off other
parts of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders and hips. Orthotics
also help with distributing weight properly and take further pressure
off of toes, bunions and other parts of the foot. We offer orthotics to
our patients that are suffering from discomfort relating to walking or
imbalances in the body that are known to cause related pain.
Custom fit orthotics are much more effective than the
over-the-counter options made available at various drug and grocery
stores. Pre-packaged, non-prescription shoe inserts are not made for
individuals; they are mass-created and do not offer the type of support
most individuals need. Custom-made orthotics are specially-made devices
that are designed to support that specific patient’s needs. While
over-the-counter shoe inserts may be a less-expensive option, custom-fit
options are the best choice for those suffering from any number of pain
or discomfort.
